(Breaking up into multi-posts because of post limits)

First off I'd like to say it's very well implemented and fits in nicely with both the story and the world that was constructed as a whole. The reason I brought up this discussion though is that the "Timer" mechanic seems to bring a poor "quality of life" aspect to what's otherwise a fantastic mechanic.

Let me explain for the benefit of those who haven't yet experienced this mechanic. Upon summoning your companion using the required consumable (Gyshal Greens, which makes perfect sense), your chocobo will show up as a party member and fight beside you. Gyshal Greens can be purchased from assorted merchants as they're consumed for each individual summoning (eaten).
